Help need advice for aggressive cochin

[Laura lim]

Ok so I have. 5 month old cochin/golden comet cross. And she is purposely seeking out my 1 1/2 year old fravolles. She kicks her out of nesting boxes pecks at her violently. My Fravolles just crouched down and squares. I have put the cochin hen in time out for a few days. But when I put her back in she is at it again. I'm new to chickens and don't know what to do. Please help.

Besides just crouching, is your submissive hen showing any signs of rebellion? I have had this problem where one hen tries to make a hen submit but the submissive hen sometimes 'sasses' the dominant hen, make sense?

What you're seeing is the pecking order in action. Chicken society is not always pretty. If your aggressive girl is drawing blood on the other one, you may want to reevaluate whether or not she has a place in your flock.

She is showing no signs of rebellion. She just submits. She never fights back she does run and hide from her to

Faverolles generally don't fight back so if she's getting bullied now its probably going to continue. You're most likely going to have to make a choice.

Hmm I had a similar problem with this years batch of chicks, and quite frankly, still am.

Maybe you just need to let the pecking order takes its toll, as long as there is no blood involved.

She does draw blood. My Fravolles comb is covers in scabs

The strange thing is she does not Bully any of the other chickens. Just this one fravolles. And I have 2 other fravolles one of witch is the rooster
